Blue Sky Afghan Design

Blue in about every shade possible is shown above, and so I name this designed and waiting to be assembled afghan Blue Sky. Is my friend, Sandie P out there...she loves blue so I thought of her when designing this one. If you've missed the last handful of posts, you may not know I dumped squares in the living room and went at it again...designing like a made woman, bagging and tagging ghans to work on. I probably will edge and assemble this with an ivory/beige. Notice how many different sizes there are. I still have plenty of squares from before I asked for 8 x 8 inch squares only.
I often do the traditional diagnal design when I have multiple squares of the same size or color; but with lots of variety I tend to like to spread the color around.More patch worky...is that a word? There's one lone knitted square above, others are sampler squares, and some are traditional granny squares. Do you see any of your squares above?

Blue sky is sure to be a beauty Sandy just like the beautiful blue sky we are having here in NJ this morning! Blue skies always lift ones spirit and so I can imagine this Afghan will do just that for its future family. SO IMPORTANT! Plus a wonderful gift of warmth. This one is sure to be a winner!

Love all the blue. This is going to be lovely no matter how you finish it, cant go wrong. What a wonderful gift. Blue skies here too in MN ,today we are having our first spring weekend in the 70s. What a beautiful way to start the day.I am sure this will fit well into anyones new home.

Today in the mail (which just came) I received my contest winnings from Sandy! THANK YOU SANDY!! The beautiful wool is going to be so much fun to work with! This wool is new to Me .and a combination of wool with acrylic so that it can be washed in the machine. I am looking forward to experimenting with it and hope to make more mittens for Bridge and Beyond and maybe a pair of socks for me! THANKS AGAIN SANDY!!! Ladies do enter the contests.......they are worth it!!

Where are You and Your Yarn From?

I'm trying to identify where everyone is from, partially for fun. Take a look at the map. Also, believe it will aid me in cases where we have several people with the same name. Please look at the lists of bloggers and non bloggers and see if I have the state you hail from. If not, please leave a comment and let me know.

Additionally, we've had help from Scotland, England, Germany Puerto Rico, Canada, and France! They don't appear on the map, but their help is still greatly appreciated.
